Terminal UI

Nerveplane's terminal experience has two interactive pieces on top of the plain commands: selection prompts (so you don't have to memorize flags) and a live full-screen monitor. Both are additive — on a non-TTY (pipes, scripts, CI) the CLI keeps its exact plain-text behavior, and every flag still works.

Interactive pickers

Where a command needs a choice you'd otherwise pass as a flag, running it on a terminal now prompts:

nerveplane worker        # no --agent? → pick claude / codex / opencode (with install + MCP status)
nerveplane install       # no target?  → pick which CLI to wire up
nerveplane conflicts     # open conflicts? → pick one, then resolve / dismiss

Pass the flag to skip the prompt (unchanged): nerveplane worker --agent codex, nerveplane install codex, nerveplane conflicts resolve <id>. --print never prompts.

Live monitor — nerveplane watch

A full-screen terminal dashboard of the whole coordination plane — the same data as the web dashboard, without leaving the terminal:

nerveplane watch          # full-screen live monitor (alias: nerveplane monitor)
nerveplane watch --once   # print one snapshot and exit (scriptable / non-TTY)

Panes: Agents (status · name · branch · last-seen), Open conflicts (selectable), Events timeline, and the Chat feed. It subscribes to the daemon's live SSE stream, so panes update in real time as agents register, conflicts open, and messages fly — no polling, no refresh key.

Keys: q / Ctrl-C quit · ↑/↓ or j/k select a conflict · r resolve · d dismiss the selected conflict · ? toggle help.

The monitor uses a hand-rolled ANSI renderer (no native dependencies), so it ships inside the single-file standalone binaries just like the rest of the CLI. Color is automatically disabled when output isn't a TTY or NO_COLOR is set.
